Congratulations! You’ve just been offered a new job and you have decided to accept the offer. It’s always a good idea to accept a job offer by sending or giving your new employer your acceptance in writing. If you have been offered a job that you intend to accept, write your acceptance letter immediately. Remember, you are not the only person that was interviewed.
The offer only indicates that you are the employer's "first choice." Delay on your part may communicate a lack of interest and will result in a prospective employer turning to his or her "second choice."
A job acceptance letter allows you to express your gratitude and demonstrate your professionalism towards the employer and also make sure there is no confusion about the precise terms and conditions of your new offer, such as compensation, vacation time, or benefits.
It's also an opportunity to express your enthusiasm for taking on the new job role. You must keep the letter as brief as possible. Remember, the person hiring you is most likely busy, so a concise acceptance letter that includes all the necessary information is best.
